“I signed up for this course because I wanted practical tools to really live in the world – life skills I can use so I’m not overtaken by my relationship. That’s what’s been missing from other courses I’ve taken, including in-person counseling. I know my problems, but no one has offered skills like you have – to change us from wounded children into normal adults in a healthy relationship. Thank you!”~ Lori M., Denver, Colorado

Do you have narcissistic tendencies?

Have you been called codependent?

Have you been in a difficult relationship with a narcissist or a codependent?

Is it possible to heal your own narcissistic or codependent traits?

Can you help someone else who has these tendencies?

What is Narcissism?

Narcissism is extreme self-focus, or self-absorption – putting one’s own needs and desires ahead of everyone else’s. It appears as a wide spectrum of behaviors, from doing whatever you want, regardless of the impact on others, to the extreme behavior of using other people as objects for your own benefit.

What is Codependency?

Codependency is extreme other-focus, or self-sacrificing – putting another person’s needs first and ignoring your own. It appears as a wide spectrum of behaviors, from putting up with their annoying quirks to sacrificing yourself completely to please the other person, often for the sake of the relationship or family.

These two words –narcissism and codependency – can be used to judge, label or diminish other people. This kind of judgment may create feelings of shame or guilt, which only serves to further inflame the relationship.

These patterns are most often rooted in our subconscious defense strategies developed in early childhood. When you approach them with understanding and compassion, you can begin the process of healing and recovery. It requires a commitment to curiosity and learning, confronting the past, and making the necessary behavioral changes.

Almost everyone can be self-absorbed or self-sacrificing at times. We get so focused on ourselves, or our work, that we ignore the people around us. Or we get so absorbed by another person that we forget about our own needs. We may stay too long in an unhealthy relationship. These complex dynamics are part of our human nature. If the patterns are interfering with your happiness or productivity, you can learn to change them.

Disclaimer:Healing Narcissism and Codependency is not a psychological diagnostic assessment. All references to narcissism and codependency are intended to educate the general public about normal tendencies, traits, and patterns that influence our relationship dynamics. This material is not designed to analyze personality, nor provide professional diagnoses of medical or psychological disorders or diseases.

We should be taught the Basic Building Blocks of Love when we are young. Unfortunately, most of us missed that important lesson. Because our parents’ love was mixed up with their own needs, frustrations, and negative love patterns, we became confused. We didn’t learn how to get our needs met in a mutually beneficial and healthy way. You did the best you could at the time, and this became the foundation of your life-long relationship patterns.

As a child, you figured out what to do to get the attention and love you needed from your parents and caregivers. You experimented to find out which behaviors worked, and what didn’t work. It’s likely that you repeated many of those patterns, right into your adult relationships. Many of them don’t work, and some of them can damage your relationships.

Here’s some good news: It’s never too late to begin rewiring your brain and your relationship patterns into healthier patterns. These new behaviors will bring you into secure, mature relationships with your spouse, children, friends, and co-workers.

In this 10-part program, we offer you a chance to get re-educated about love – a new view based on the Neuroscience of Relationship. We help you see into the root causes of your old, unworkable patterns. We show you how to re-program and update your old Relational Operating System. We provide specific practices you can use to create more security and passion in your primary relationship. This practical approach can save a relationship that’s on the rocks, or set a new foundation for success in your next relationship.

The Healing Narcissism and Codependencyprogram will show you the causes underneath your relationship challenges, and give you practical remedies to bring secure love back into your life.

The word narcissist is often used as shorthand for the clinical diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).

The word codependent is sometimes used to refer to Dependent Personality Disorder (DPD).

Both NPD and DPD are serious psychological conditions that require help from a professional clinician trained to work with these disorders.

We use these words differently – to refer to behaviors and relational strategies that can appear in any relationship. We refer to “normal narcissism” and “normal codependency” – behaviors and strategies that can show up within a very wide spectrum, from mild, to moderate, to severe.

On the mild-to-moderate side of the spectrum, both narcissistic and codependent behaviors can interfere with personal and professional relationships. (If a person consistently shows up on the extreme side of either tendency, they should see a licensed clinician trained in this field.)

The Healing Narcissism and Codependency program is dedicated to helping people heal the mild-to-moderate “normal” range of these traits by learning to understand their roots, and changing day-to-day behaviors toward healthy and fulfilling interactions.

Many of us struggle with these tendencies. We can drop into either extreme – self-focus or self-sacrifice – if we feel overwhelmed or insulted. We may become unkind, or withdraw from someone we love, or tolerate another person’s unkind behavior “just to get along.”

On one side of this spectrum, a person may focus on taking care of themselves so intensely that they forget to care for other people as well. On the other side, they may take care of others so well that they forget to care for their own needs. These are two sides of the same coin – an imbalance of care.

Many couples exhibit these two tendencies as a matched set. One partner tends toward selfish, self-absorbed behavior, and the other exhibits selfless traits, wearing themselves out in the process of over-caretaking. And many of us are hybrids – a mixture of both strategies which we employ at different times. Some people swing wildly from one extreme to the other.

In a healthy relationship, there is a sense of balance and mutuality. Both individuals’ needs are of equal value and importance.

If your relationship has:

More fights and reactions than feelings of secure love

Too much hurting of each other without an equal amount of repair

Not enough pleasure and too much pain

Feels more threatening than safe

… it’s time to get some support and re-education.

Your negative reactions CAN be re-programmed. Rewiring your old neural pathways requires two simultaneous actions: 1) learning and study to achieve understanding, and 2) practice of specific behaviors to re-wire your relationship dynamics. This is what we offer in Healing Narcissism and Codependency.

More about Narcissism and Codependency

If you fall into the narcissistic spectrum, you’ve probably seen how easily you can drop into preoccupation with yourself, to the point where you forget about others’ needs and feelings. It may happen when you get triggered by someone, or upset with your circumstances. When you want to achieve a goal, you may set aside the needs of others in order to move yourself forward. It’s only a problem if you forget to come back and repair the damage you’ve done by being self-absorbed.

If you fall into the codependent spectrum, you may tend to give up your own needs to preserve a relationship, or to belong to a group – to your own detriment. You may tolerate another person’s unkind behavior, walking on eggshells to avoid conflict, rather than stand up to the unfairness. If this feels like self-sacrifice, where you’re getting hurt in the deal, it’s time to change it.

Narcissism and Codependency are two sides of the same coin. Either trait limits your ability to experience secure, loving relationship with another person.

We shine a light on these complex subconscious patterns, and show you how to create the positive alternative: healthy, secure, collaborative love:

Care for yourself AND the other person in a balanced way.

Include the other person’s concerns and preferences in all of your choices and actions.

Make sure that your needs AND the other person’s needs are being taken care of.

Ensure that both you and your partner feel respected, secure, and cherished.

If you’ve ever been caught in a hurtful or over-whelming relationship, the first step is to learn how you got there. The second step is to learn how to avoid those behaviors in the future.

If you are not currently in a relationship, you can prepare yourself for a healthier relationship in the future. You’ll be more aware of your own traits and vulnerabilities, and have clarity as to the type of partner you need as you grow and heal yourself. You can create the relationship that you’ve always wanted!

Join us for this powerful 10-part learning experience! Walk more confidently along your healing path. Gain powerful new tools for creating a dependable, safe, and loving relationship.

In this course, you’ll open up new possibilities for your life, and provide practical techniques for healing. Knowledge is power. When you practice new behaviors, you can create long-term change. Avoid stepping into the same old traps, and learn to express your true nature as a wise, loving being.

Remember, you can change – even if the other person in your life doesn’t join you in the effort. Learn to create healthy relationships in which you can give and receive healthy love – for the rest of your life.

I’m so grateful for this offering, and I recommend it to anyone who has been touched by these traits.”
~ Holly Woods, PhD, Integral Master Coach & Consultant

“Thank you both for generously sharing your knowledge, expertise, and vulnerability. It was informative, illuminating, and a transformative experience for me.

Having both your male and female perspectives brought balance and strength to the course.”
~ John S., Le Grand, California

“This program was AMAZING. Thanks to both of you for offering such clarity, authenticity, and wisdom. I love that you’re in the world, and hope to bring you to my city to teach a workshop here!”
~ Leslie B.

“You collaborated effectively to show how narcissism can pose challenges for individuals and their relations with others. You broke down the likely causes of narcissism, and clearly addressed ways to change those behaviors, strategies and beliefs. I can now see a path toward becoming more securely functioning as a spouse, parent, friend and co-worker. Narcissists have a reputation for being very difficult to heal. You guys showed that with knowledge, insight, will and determination, narcissists can heal and improve their lives and the lives of those they love. Thank you for giving us narcissists hope!”
~ Will N.

“You’re both very inspiring and I especially love that you’re charting these terrifying waters and giving us a map so we can find our way. Much love to you both.”

~ Candace K.

“In other courses I’ve taken, it feels like the experts are just talking out loud, and I’m expected to grab whatever bits of wisdom I can, and patch them together in order to learn something. In this course, you provided a framework I could use to organize my learning. You really want your students to learn and integrate the wisdom you offer.”
~ Diane M.

“I loved the course. This is a fantastic offering for therapist-coaches like me.”
~ Bev T.

“I immediately incorporated one thing from today’s call, and used it with my kids. It worked wonders. The idea was, “It’s okay to feel how you’re feeling.” This simple concept had an amazing impact on my interactions with my teenage son. He was upset about a consequence I had given him. Accepting his feelings, and making them okay, enabled him to move through it more quickly than ever before. My gratitude to both of you for the gifts you share with us each week.”
~ Teri C

“This program is so powerful – more like a university degree program, or a lifetime of study, rather than a telecourse. I feel like I’ve ripped the band-aid off of my lifetime of wounding. I want to heal these old patterns by practicing what you taught: being more vulnerable in my relationship, and staying connected in order to feel safe. It’s a steep uphill climb, but I feel like I really have the tools now.”
